ABC's Good Morning America co-host Robin Roberts returned to the studio today for the first time since undergoing a bone marrow transplant last year.

"What a thrill to be back at 'GMA''s Times Square Studio this morning and see the best folks in the world, my ‘GMA’ family,” Roberts, who did a number of test runs at the studio, said in a statement. “I can’t wait to get back to the anchor chair in a few weeks.”

Roberts, a friend of the Obama family, was diagnosed with MDS, or myelodysplastic syndrome, a blood and bone-marrow disorder in June. She announced earlier this month that she planned to return to work on “Good Morning America” within weeks.
